This vision of shiny beauty is the one of the latest designs from The Branch, created by an amazingly talented and caring young lady called Wendy.
The Branch is seen in most high fashion magazines and what Wendy and her passionate, talented team of work people can't do with wood, silver and gold is nobodies business.
This particular piece is a design of scrolled silver on a base of wood with the body of the ring being thick gorgeous hall marked silver.. at only £67.50 (and with it being from sustainable resources..) You could class yourselves fashion saints!!!

Our favourite children's range
'no added sugar'
has brought out this design for the babies.
... keep checking the blog as we will post more designs very soon.
Also as readers of our earlier blogs, my husbands first guitar lesson went very well..he is learning
'my brown eyed girl...' (mine are hazel but I'll not split hairs..) I'm very proud as he can play 3 chords already.. ever nearer having my very own rock god. Also been tempted to pursued him to have a tattoo...that's going to be interesting..
Norma's left me today and gone off to watch Tennis in Birmingham.. champagne reception , 3 course meal and centre court seats. So funny though as norma's idea of tennis would be as the victorians would do it. Standing on court waiting for the balls to fly at her!!!
Im sure there will be a story to post on Monday.......

You gotta love this bag!!
designed by Myounghee for her bag label Stori..
it has fastenings on the inside so you can attach a chain strap or just simply hide it away to transform it into an elegant clutch bag..It's one of those that's long enough to tuck under you arm while you are eating canapes and holding a rather large glass of Sangiovese...

it' s a new brewery that my husband says is in Holbeck.
Starter from Antony's - risotto with Parmesan air..
I prefer Harvey Nichols risotto.. controversial but true...
We had all three choices from El Gato Negro (Simon Shaw ex- Harvey Nichols) .. is so very good..his love of Spanish food will never rival my friend Richard Walton-Allen's. For me not much can! This has to be my favourite stand though by far.. his restaurant is defiantly worth a few visits to say the least!!!!

Dessert was chocolate pot from HN .. BLOOMING GORGEOUS..
Came home on train with the host of my godchild.. (obviously she is pregnant.)
We sit in the pissy carriage as she has to go for a wee every two minutes. (aka Amy Winehouse) i call her this because her quiff gets higher as the day goes on!!! I think she feels as she is growing outwoods the quiff may elongate her.. she is still though very gorgeous..

Ok, here we are, the start of our blog...
I feel quite anxious and I haven't really written anything yet.
You wonder if you have anything interesting to tell,
I say tell as it's easier to write if I think about it in terms of stories abet lots of very short stories.
Norm's and I thinking about it have quite an interesting time of it really..
1: It maybe remembering the time that norms got kissed by Ronnie Wood.
(his wife was there, it was on the cheek and he was a perfect gentleman)
2: Or the time when we were in london for Fashion week and we stopped this black guy late one night on a street corner in Soho who definatley had something silver, hard and I think it had a handle in his pocket and asked him the way to heaven.
(Heaven was a club, which we never found after 4 hours of looking and ended the night with Norma collapsing on the floor in a taxi cab)
3: This hippy type guy came in the shop after seeing our beautiful shaped fruit candles through the window. He told us he dresses up as a banana for children's parties. Fine..someone has too..
After chatting to him for a couple of minutes he asked me if I liked chocolate and pulled out a tupperware container. I started to wonder what he was going to offer me and as I don't really like chocolate I turned and pointed to Norms and yelled SHE DOES.
( is that mean? Norm's does have a bit of a chocolate addiction.)
Norm' s took some and then I did .. He explained that it was cacao (which is the cocoa plant) all healthy and natural. God it was rancid, definatley lived up to it's name. I went to throw it away after taking a polite nibble and he made me give it back. Yuuk!
We say to kids never take sweets from strangers but WE did, ever so slightly emotionally forced into eating vile chocolate that could have been anything, cat poo, mud, belly button fluff.
We could have been tripping in the shop all afternoon.. or Norm's could have been driving home in a purple haze or on her very own magical mystery tour..
So children if your parents tell you not to take sweets, listen!!!!!
Well, that was alright,
Good night x
